Blue door is a monkey’s paw. You go back in time? You butterfly-effect shit you didn’t intend to.
- Buy a bunch of Bitcoin? A series of unanticipated changes means people figure out it’s a pyramid scheme early and by around 2017 or so, the last Bitcoin miner shuts down. But hey, at least video cards are affordable!
- Bring back Lotto numbers? Well sorry, buddy, but just by breathing the air differently, the air currents where the numbers are drawn are affected, and you’re left with zilch.
- Got kids younger than 10? They don’t exist anymore! If you try to have them again, you end up with other kids who are similar, but not the same as the ones you loved… and have deleted from the timeline.
The answer to these time-travel opportunities is always to run screaming from them. But hey, at least with this one you’ve got an alternative where you become an instant millionaire! Take the $10 million. Don’t fuck the timeline up.
Yeah, the re-do your life idea really gets scary after you have kids. There’s pretty much no way you get them back.
Bonus points, odds are you will have a really hard time re-meeting your partner. You’re probably a totally different person than you were when you met. The chemistry that got you started is now not there and who knows how you mix now. It may still work, but they might be weirded out by how much you know about them.
For both your sakes, the best option may be to never meet.
I’ll take the red door thanks.
Sounds like a win-win /s
Speak for yourself! As someone who will literally be married for 10 years in 2 weeks and has 2 kids I’m going back baby! How else would I stop the marriage! Yeesh.
Merry marriage aniversery
Blue Door. One of my greatest mistakes was not buying Bitcoin when it was 100 dollars
I wonder what would be more profitable, buying Bitcoin early, or buying Apple stocks early?
Apple, their stock has split several times
Blue door is essentially erasing your own existence. Why do people even view it as an option? The me that made mistakes created the me today. If I erase those mistakes I wouldn’t exist. Just some other guy with an easy life.
True, true. One of the mistakes however is not buying tech stocks in their infancy, so you’d wind up with way more than 10m.
Because you have a different view of time and space. You could go back in time and stay the same,it’s just a different timeline, where you see a younger version of yourself. But changing anything in his life don’t affect yours, only his. There can’t be paradox in this model.
Exactly! I can’t count how many times I’ve messed up, but without them I wouldn’t be who I am today. Hence why I pick the red door, not for the money, but so that the experiences that shaped me still mean something.
Red Door cause I know myself enough to know I’m gonna make all the same mistakes even if I had perfect recollection of years of details I don’t even remember now.
Why would you go back in time only to make the same mistakes again when you can now have ample opportunity for whole new ones!
I can’t imagine all the mistakes i could do with 10M xD
Big brain thinking right here. Variety is the spice of life.
After walking into the blue door the first mistake it corrects is that I should have picked the red door.
Red. No amount of fixing mistakes will ever repair my lifelong depression.
Read, give me that money there are more mistakes to be made.
Does “not buying Bitcoin for $1” count as a mistake or not?
Doesn’t matter. You would have sold it when it was like $27
I will take 2700% profits please and thanks.
Blue door without question. Even if there was a stipulation that I couldn’t invest in stocks or bitcoin or do anything else that would make me rich.
I fantasise about going back and doing it all again, not making huge changes, but little ones, living my life with the knowledge and security I have now, so I would be able to enjoy my childhood instead of stressing about the future, I could be kinder to people around me and help them when they were struggling. I could tell the people I loved that I loved them instead of keeping those feeling held back due to insecurity. I could spend more time with my pets when I was “too busy” before. I could start the hobbies and sports I ended up loving as a child, and actually have the chance to be competitive at them.
Easily the money. There were many things in life that didn’t go quite right for me, but there was a lot that did as well. If I muck around with what already happened, I might end up worse than I did.

Mistakes such as guessing the wrong lottery numbers all those times.
Am I the only one who thinks there haven’t been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol
You are a result of your personal experiences. Going back and changing would make you an entirely different person.
Without the mistskes
Who decides what is a “mistake” and what is “fixed”? I feel like going through the blue door would trap you in some kind of infinite loop
